History Trophy

Young Historians encouraged by MMHS

In 2008 the children of Year 6 were given the task in the annual School Governors’ Challenge
of presenting the theme “Milton Malsor: Past, Present and Future”. Subsequently,
during the summer term the Society’s website received very many hits from the enthusiastic
children who found much of interest regarding the village’s past.

During the Leavers’ Service held in the Church of the Holy Cross at the end of the
school year, the Chairman of the Society, who is a governor of the school, presented five prize
winners with their awards. He also presented the MMHS History Trophy for the first time, together
with a suitable book to Andrew Feathersone, the pupil in the view of the school who showed the
greatest promise in historical studies.

The children gave a remarkable presentation throughout the course of the service which
included recitals, singing, and the playing of musical instruments; they also related a series of
amusing occurrences, or particular situations, from their time at school.

The trophy will be an annual award, and it is pleasing to see that the MMHS is making a
useful input to the education of our local school.

Update:

At the annual Leavers’ Service for the Milton Malsor Parochial School held at Holy Cross
Church on Thursday 19th July, the pupils were presented with various awards. The annual History
Prize awarded by the MMHS for 2012 was given to Hannah Hall.
